Microsoft 365 attack patterns11 patterns
  • highcriticalMicrosoft 365

    Phish an admin → full tenant takeover

    One compromised Global Administrator account is the whole tenant: read every mailbox, take every file, plant backdoors, and push ransomware to your company's computers.

  • highcriticalMicrosoft 365

    Internet-exposed admin surface → credential reuse → tenant takeover

    A login page or management port left open to the internet is the way in; a password reused on Microsoft 365 turns it into a full takeover.

  • highcriticalMicrosoft 365

    Known CVE on public service → web shell → ransomware deployment

    When a flaw is announced in software you run facing the internet, attackers have a working exploit within days. Once one server falls, everything it can reach falls next.

  • highcriticalMicrosoft 365

    Password spray → mailbox takeover → business email compromise

    A gap in MFA enforcement could let a stolen or guessed password expose a mailbox. Review policy coverage separately from method registration, then investigate the possible route to payment fraud.

  • highcriticalMicrosoft 365

    Domain spoofing → wire transfer / invoice fraud

    Without one email setting (DMARC) enforced, anyone on the internet can send mail that looks like it came from your domain. Your customers and your own staff are the victims.

  • highcriticalMicrosoft 365

    Endpoint compromise → OneDrive sync fanout → org-wide ransomware

    OneDrive keeps everyone's files in sync — which means ransomware on one laptop can fan out through the cloud to every synced computer in the company.

  • mediumhighMicrosoft 365

    Illicit OAuth consent → silent mailbox exfiltration

    One employee clicks 'Accept' on a malicious app, and it can read their mailbox from then on — no password needed, ever again. Resetting the password or turning on MFA afterwards doesn't shut it out.

  • highhighMicrosoft 365

    Teams DM phishing → credential / OAuth-grant compromise

    All your phishing defenses guard email. A Teams direct message from a compromised partner account walks straight past every one of them.

  • mediumhighMicrosoft 365

    Anonymous SharePoint links → public data exposure

    Anonymous 'Anyone' links leak at every company size. Once one is out, you can't revoke it from the recipient — you can only delete the link itself.

  • mediumhighMicrosoft 365

    Edit-default share links → invoice/contract tampering

    When share links default to Edit, a casual click of the Share button hands out editing rights to invoices, contracts, and vendor lists. Anyone who receives one can change the document.

  • mediumhighMicrosoft 365

    Compromised vendor → stale guest account → lateral access

    Guest accounts that haven't signed in for 90+ days are doors nobody is watching. When a partner company is breached, the attacker inherits whatever access their guest account still has.

Azure attack patterns6 patterns
  • highcriticalAzure

    Subscription Owner sprawl → tenant-wide cloud takeover

    'Owner' is the most powerful role in Azure — one account that can touch every server, secret, and log. Every extra Owner is a permanent target on someone's back.

  • highcriticalAzure

    Public Azure storage → silent data exfiltration

    Storage left open to anonymous downloads needs no stolen password at all. In 2023, security firm Wiz found 38 terabytes of Microsoft's internal data exposed by one storage link that shared too much.

  • highcriticalAzure

    Internet-exposed Azure VM → lateral movement → ransomware

    A server with remote access left open to the entire internet is an open door. Microsoft says attackers actively hunt for servers like this, and one that falls can be their way in to the rest.

  • highcriticalAzure

    Public Azure SQL endpoint → data exfiltration

    A database firewall left wide open makes your data reachable from the internet. One common 'allow all' setting lets any Azure customer, anywhere in the world, knock on its door.

  • highcriticalAzure

    Leaked service-principal secret → subscription-scope cloud takeover

    App credentials are long-lived keys to your cloud. When one leaks — and they leak constantly, often in public code — whoever finds it inherits everything the app could touch.

  • mediumhighAzure

    No Defender + no log forwarding → silent multi-month dwell

    This one is a blind spot, not a single step. With no alerts, nobody is told an attacker is inside. With no logs kept, there is little to show what they did or how long they were there.

A possible path is a starting point for investigation.

Tenant Strike uses read-only findings to model attack scenarios. It does not exploit your environment or present a path as a confirmed intrusion. Your team reviews the evidence and chooses the response.
